My subreddit /r/NormalDayInArabia just took of, gaining a few thousand subscribers, now I need your help to know how you'd distinguish appropriate from culturally inappropriate jokes.

I've been lurking/occasionally posting here for years. I wouldn't be defined as a Muslim since I'm bahai, but we do share Muhammad as a prophet.

Now, I created r/NormalDayInArabia as part of a general series of subs in the style of /r/ANormalDayInRussia. It's meant to portray funny things that are stereotypical for the culture in question. It's great if it can bring cultural understanding at the same time, and help people see that we are not very different. I just go this message.

Now, with subjects concerning the middle east being quite heated, I'm worried about when the trump boys are going to come and ruin the party. I have rules against politics and racism, but when do jokes go too far?

This I think is a good type of comment.

This I think is a bad type of comment, but it's downvoted so it maybe I should let it stay as a public example?

This comment I'm hesitant about, Maybe it's desensitizing the word for Americans, and could therefore be a good thing. Or is it mocking religion?

Please help me where you think I should draw the line.
